Things you're probably wondering.

How long does a Ventureship last?

Typically 4 weeks. Longer Ventureships can be arranged depending on the depth of work and deliverables. You'll spend around 6 to 10 hours a week on average, with progress measured by milestones rather than hours.

Do I need to be a student?

Not strictly. We work with undergraduates, postgraduates, masters, PhD students, and people up to two years post graduation.

What if I'm not in the UK?

Most current Ventureships are for UK-based candidates with the right to work in the UK. Some company briefs are open worldwide. Join Ventureship and we'll let you know when a brief fits.

Will I get a reference?

Yes, if you ask and if your work is of a certain standard.

Could I get hired at the end?

There's an opportunity for hiring conversations at the discretion of the organisation.
